Chicago man who broke into Naperville home gets 20-year prison term

A man who broke into a Naperville home being visited by his former girlfriend and fought with its occupants gets 20 years in prison.

It's almost surreal to see what we now know as the Martin Mitchell House sitting all by its lonesome and surrounded by undeveloped land. When this photo was taken in the early 1900s, the home belonged to George Martin, a wealthy farmer and quarry owner who built the 12-room mansion on what was then the rural edge of downtown Naperville. His daughter, Catherine Martin Mitchell, would end up donating the house — which George named called Pine Craig — and 200-plus acres of land to the city of Naperville. Mitchell wanted the house used as a history museum, and in 1969 it became the centerpiece of the 13-acre Naper Settlement campus. It now faces Naperville Central High School and Naperville Riverwalk and Park. The man who took the picture was Charles Koretke, a prolific photographer who documented almost everything in the city during his time. (Naperville Heritage Society)

Two teens charged with raping girl at Naperville Walgreens store, recording attack

January 13, 2026 at 5:37 p.m.

Two teens are charged with sexually assaulting a female acquaintance in the restroom of a Walgreens store in Naperville, with one of them allegedly videotaping the incident, officials said.

In the midst of wintry January, is there anything better than a view of a sunny Naperville street back in the day? This postcard of Loomis Street, looking north from Liberty Street (now known as Van Buren Avenue), was taken circa 1912, according to Naperville Heritage Society information. The photographer is not known. It's interesting to note that while the sidewalks appear paved, the street is not. Given that car buying would not be affordable for average people until the 1920s, when mass production of the Ford Model T began, it's fun to see hitching posts for horses located in front of some homes.
